It's still not known if the transformation is a permanent one but his fans did not seem to be convinced about his new look and hoped it was simply for a movie role.

Posing from a balcony in Paris, with the Eiffel Tower visible in the background, his hair was held in place with a baseball cap.

He simply said: 'Hey guys! Happy #TGIF! Have a good one! Lots of love! MD.'

While many fans took to the comments to tell him how much they love him and find him handsome, others were pretty savage about his auburn hair.

They wrote: 'Sorry Michael, the hair makes you look older not to mention the wrinkles. Go dye your hair back to grey and get a haircut.

'Men - go figure. MD has wonderful hair for a guy his age, and looked handsome naturally silver - you do not look younger MD with ginger hair, simply odd?

'That said, your head, your hair, your weird colour scheme.'

'Your dyed red hair looks hideous. You look good with grey hair. Hope the dyed hair was for a movie or t.v. role you're filming.'

Others said they: 'Love the natural look.'
